“Andrea was a delight to work with. Bailey loved having her and Chris take care of her. They were polite, took care of our girl and our home. We would certainly use them again.”
“We’ve used Dominic twice now and know our dogs are in great hands!! She’s responsive, sends lots of photos and updates, and is respectful of our home. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone!!”
“Linda is amazing. My fur baby hates to see her leave after they spend time together. I feel so relaxed, and may enjoy my time away when Linda is caring for my baby. You will be very pleased with how well Linda will care for your pet.”
“Lauren was fantastic. She went above and beyond in caring for our pup. He has separation anxiety and she did her best with him. She is caring about animals and she gave pup great love and attention. We definitely will be using her in the future. Thank you Lauren.”
“Courtney was great! She followed all of our instructions, left the house as she found it, and the dogs were happy when we came home. Would definitely leave my pups with her again. Thank you!”
About: Update: I will not be available May 18-25, and Jun 2-14 I love dogs!! I've fostered many dogs and volunteered at many shelters. I've had seniors and even fostered one with spina bifida. My first two loves were English Bulldogs. I have lots of experience with them and know that smooshy face breeds are much more delicate than other breeds. I absolutly love them! I'm not good with extremely energtic dogs, but can handle anything else. I am semi-retired. I currently work part time on Friday and Sundays with an occasional third day, so I am home a lot. I have plenty of time to devote to your pooch. In my home, I care for your pet just as I care for mine. Of course, with your direction implemented also. I do have a pool, so I will need to know how your dog is around pools, or if they have zero experience with pools, I will need to know that as well.
“Chloe was great! She was able to help us out on short notice and make adjustments as needed. We have a dog that is slightly aggressive with people entering the home and she handled it perfectly even when he gave her some issues. She kept us updated throughout the stay and wasn’t afraid to ask questions when needed. We will definitely be using her again and would recommend Chloe to friends!!”
About: With over 15 years of devoted pet care, I offer personalized attention and professional training expertise, ensuring your furry friend feels loved, safe, and well-behaved while you're away. I am currently not working, so I have very open availability, whether it be for sitting for a fews days or just taking them out. I have a large unfenced back yard with a 100ft leash, a two story house where your pet can run freely. I have a large crate that would fit even a big dog.
“We were very happy with how things went with Danielle! It was my first time hiring a stranger to watch my dogs but she was kind and instantly made me feel better. I would definitely recommend!”
About: Hi! My name is Allison, I am 32 years old and I have experience with a wide range and pet care! From bearded dragons, bunnies, goats, chickens, to dogs and cats I have taken care of them all! I had dogs and cats in my home my entire life and love everything about them! I am very active and love running with my own dogs but if that’s not your pups speed playing the yard or in the house with toys is always great! Or if they’re a more chill pup just hanging out together :) I have owned small and big dogs and worked in the veterinary field for 10 years so no dog scares me or worries me to walk or play with. I hope you choose me to help you and your pup out with a little interaction while you’re away! I am currently taking some time off from being a veterinary technician and am in online school full time so my schedule is very flexible for drop-in visits I am comfortable with any crate situation and medications for your fur baby if needed. Whatever set up you would like works for me as well, walking, running, or just hanging out in the back yard.
“Daniela was wonderful with our toy Poodle Bella. Bella took to her right away.. She was willing to arrive at 4:30AM, so we could get on the road. Our dog is a finicky eater and other sitters could not get her to eat. Daniela had the patience to get her to eat 2 meals. Daniela washed the dishes and had the house extra tidy. She was very courteous, followed all instructions and was a pleasure to work with.”
About: Hi! I’m Kayla, a dedicated animal lover and an experienced veterinary technician who understands that your pets are family. Working in veterinary medicine has given me hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including seniors, puppies, kittens, and pets with medical needs. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or simply someone to give them extra love while you’re away, I’m committed to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine and behavior, and I’m comfortable administering medications, recognizing signs of illness, and handling unexpected situations calmly. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to leave your furry family members with someone you can trust. I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! I can stop by before 8:00 am and after 3:00 pm on Saturday. I don’t work a set schedule so my availability will stay up to date. I will always try to work you in. I have a super friendly dogs and 3 cats that been around dogs many times. Your dog will get lots of outside time and walks at a trail near my house. Also will be able to provide enrichment for other animals.
“Aaron was absolutely amazing caring for our 3 doggies for 9 days. We were super nervous to leave them, but Aaron made us feel stress free. He was super communicative with morning, afternoon, and nighttime check-ins with pictures and how they spent their days. He went above and beyond, even cleaning, washing the linens, and leaving a delicious blueberry breakfast treat. He was exceptional. Our dogs loved him and he will definitely be our go-to person from now on.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for years and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. As a biology student who hopes to become a veterinarian, I’m passionate about giving every pet the love, patience, and attention they deserve. I’m currently available most days and have a flexible schedule, so I can make time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and feeding. I’ll always communicate with you and make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, keep them in a safe environment, and make sure they feel loved while you’re away. I’ll also send updates and pictures so you can have peace of mind.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was young. In my younger years I would take some from off the streets, wash them, and wait for my Mom to decide wether or not we could keep them (even though every time I would get a resounding no, God kept me hopeful) I’m a certified animal behavior specialist now and I have 8 years of experience in catering to and loving on pets. I’ve taken care of furbabies with anxiety, some from shelters, and even elderly furbabies along with some who have certain medical needs. I love animals and believe firmly in the saying “ dogs do speak but only to those who will listen”, those who will have the patience to listen I work from home most of the week the beginning of the day so I will have free time to dog sit Wednesday & Friday- Saturday I have a separate condo space underneath my house where it is fully stocked with a bathroom kitchen and bedroom; running AC. I can easily crate your animal if needed and/or they will be comfortable with the bedding you’ve provided
“Drew was absolutely a dream pet sitter. I presented quite the challenge with my 3 senior pups and one very high energy GSP puppy. Drew not only met but far exceeded every expectation. It had been actually years since I had been able to go out of town without constantly worrying about my fur babies and with Drew, that changed. I had not one worry and I absolutely would not hesitate to hire him again and 1000x over recommend to anyone looking for an actual dog lover that is also reliable, consistent, friendly, loving and committed! I couldn't be more grateful to have found him and I will definitely be hiring him again. He went above and beyond and I came home to 4 very happy fur babies and that alone, is priceless. Look no further, Drew is your new pet sitter. ❤️”
About: I love spending time with animals of all kinds. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, and can administer basic medications and follow any special care instructions. You can count on me to provide reliable care, plenty of updates, and lots of love and attention! Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine! I have gaps between my courses and on weekdays I am done for the day around 3:30PM, so I’m available every afternoon and evening for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight care. I work outside with an air-conditioned office and a grassy lawn, giving opportunity for rides, playing, and fresh air all day on weekends! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I make sure pets are always supervised, have fresh water, and receive plenty of love and attention. I also keep pet owners updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your furry family member is in good hands while you’re away.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life taken care of then. I currently have 2 year old pug and we go to the dog park almost every day. Milo, my current dog is the most spoiled dog. I know I cook his food so he can be nice and healthy and his coat can be nice and shiny and soft And take the time out to make sure that he gets all his Zumiez out So I currently work for T-Mobile typically work around seven hours a day, but I still have a Lotta free time before and after depending on the day. I still manage to take my little Pug on numerous, walks into the dog park every day, and typically free on the weekends all day. Honestly, I love dogs so I will treat your dog like It’s my own, I do require all animals have updated shots and car seat belts as Milo and I often go on car rides and to the dog park… also if your dog is not neutered or spayed that is fine but please inform me prior so I can book accordingly, I do have pee pads for dogs who aren’t potty trained although most young puppies are easy to tech when a older dog is present.
About: I care about animals, I care about not just keeping them alive but making sure they enjoy their lives. I have had cats and dogs my whole life, and I am my families go to pet sitter when they go out of town! I believe each animal has its own unique personality, likes and dislikes, and I enjoy figuring them out! I work remotely from my laptop, so if I’m staying at your home, I won’t have to leave for work! I do not work Saturdays or Sundays so I’m available sun up to sun down on those days for walking and/or check ins! Monday-Friday I have 5 hours off during the middle of the day, 11am-4pm in which I’ll be available. I care for pets by of course following every guideline you give me, but also by making sure they feel just as much love from me as they would’ve felt had you not left. So you can feel sure your pets won’t get too sad or lonely. (:

FAQs for House Sitting - Ridgeway
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 596 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ridgeway. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Ridgeway walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ridgeway maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Ridgeway choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ridgeway. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 91% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
